Aubrey was born and raised south of Detroit on the waterways of Gibraltar Michigan. She dreamed of aviation since the age of 4, when her mother carried her to see the Goodyear Blimp at a small local airport. As Aubrey grew up, her peers repeatedly told her that becoming a pilot was more of a male-dominated position, it fueled her inner-fire to prove them wrong. She was later accepted into Aviation Programs at The University of Michigan, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Eastern Michigan University. Aubrey Chose to stay close to home along with the acceptance of a competitive cheerleading and academic scholarship, and soared with the Eastern Michigan University Eagles. Aubrey's initial flight training was successfully completed at the Eagle Flight Center of Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti Michigan. in 2009, Aubrey graduated with Honors and received her Bachelors in Aviation Flight Technology as well as a shining offer for a paid internship at Aerodynamics Incorporated (ADI), located in Waterford Michigan.
